Your PS5 HDR is Probably INCORRECT! Here’s Why

Hi, here are the new PS5 HDR Settings in 2023 after testing 30 games and finally deciding if you should clip the sun into the background or make it barely visible, + the best Step 3 of 3 Dark settings for visible near-black details to fix lines in near black levels on older OLED TVs.

I never even questioned this until i played gow Ragnarok and spiderman 2. I changed my HDR clipping with the sun like you said in first party exclusives to barely visible and then completely blended in for 3rd party games. What a difference that made specifically for the 3rd party games. I have an hdr600 ips panel gets about 700 nits. no hgig or that sorta thing. Thanks a alot!

What do you recommend for warzone? I feel fortunes keep is very bright and have a hard time seeing people. I have LG OLED HDR

[johnshawdocherty]

Really hope they can make all this standard in time really annoying having to change for different games

[jakedizzle]

Yes I would like to see the black levels video mentioned at the end. Thank you for this video. It’s perfect.

Una domanda, nel video hai detto di utilizzare " gradazione preferita" sui TV Sony, ma vorrei sapere se durante la calibrazione del hdr di ps5 devo tenere acceso la gradazione preferita o devo calibrare hdr con questa opzione spenta e poi accenderla quando ho finito di calibrare ?

[andrearossi]

another flaw of fc 24 is that as you play in various situations the colors become darker or lighter on their own for example: you take the corner kick and it gets darker then after a while everything becomes lighter but it doesn't do this in all stadiums

Happy 2024! Can you please tell me how many clicks in steps 1, 2 and 3 on ps5? I have Samsung Q60B 55'

[jakedizzle]

Can you do one for HDR Always On system setting for games that don’t support HDR? I use it for PS4 games. Sometimes I’ll have DTM On or HGIG depending on the game. Curious if the system level calibration makes a difference.

Hello, I have LG 43Un74006Lb UHD TV. Can you recommend the HDR setting? It mixes with the sun in 28 clicks.

It seems odd to me that you have to adjust for black on an OLED screen, or even a decent mini LED screen, since they are automatically starting from very dark as a base point (pixels off). It seems like you should only have to adjust for brightness ceiling.
In future perhaps they should incorporate time of day options like night light settings on phones and Windows.The eyes adapt to see darkness better at night, so it seems like it could auto-adjust black level a little following sunset. Or TVs could do that..

Hi Danial, how is everything? I have a question, what ps5 calibration settings should i do with a samsung q90t? Thx in advance!

[giuseppe_mingione]

HI! Thank you very much for the video it was very well done and was very helpful, I have a question, but regarding film production, what procedure should be followed for calibration of HDR? I have a Panasonic mz1500 and I use professional 2 for films and the tone mapping is active so I have more clicks for the hdr than the ps5, A thousand thanks!

[Kung_Fu_Kenny]

This goes against every recommendation I’ve seen from channels like HDTVTest, ClassyTech, and GamingTech. Not saying you’re wrong but these guys are pretty reliable.

[EverythingPSPro]

So, what if your TV has HLG and doesn’t have the other DTM or HGIG and it has a max peak full screen brightness of 500nits but you still see most highlight detail at 10000nits, what is going on? Is it tone mapping? My manifacturer (philips) says the TV doesn’t have tone mapping… what are your recommended settings for me? I can use a contrast booster thats called HDR Plus and it boosts peak contrast and highlight detail and color and fixed crushed blacks, also don’t know what that feature actually is. My TV is a Philips PUS8517/12

[andrearossi]

Anyway dear guys I have decided that I will use HDR with all 3 suns almost visible for all games and it is quite satisfactory. I am talking about a TV with a not very powerful HDR, a 6 year old Samsung LED have a nice day

سلام ، من تی وی فور کی اسنوا دارم ۵۵ اینچ، وقتی ستینگ تلویزیون روی استاندارد هست من باید صفحه اول اچ دی آر رو ۲۹ کلیک کنم تا برلی ویزیبل بشه در حالی که تلویزیون من اچ دی آر ۱۰ ساپورت میکنه،همچنین صفحه دوم همینطور،صفحه آخر هم باید حدودا ۱۳ کلیک بکنم تا آفتاب رو ببینم ...
آیا این طبیعیه؟
در حالی که باید در دو صفحه اول من با ۱۶ کلیک آفتابم محو بشه درسته؟
اسنوا پنل ال جی استفاده میکنه و از رنگ و نور پردازی رضایت دارم اما خب این مشکل عجیب رو داره با پی اس فایو ، مثلا وقتی اچ دی آر خاموش باشه کانترس تلویزیون من روی ۵۰ باشه از ۱۰۰ تا، کافیه ببشتر بشه چشم اذیت میشه،اما اچ دی آر روشن میشه خیلی کانترس کم تر میشه نمیدونم باید ببرم کانترس رو دستی بالاتر یا نه؟
توی بازی هایی که خودشون داخل تنظیمات اچ دی ار و خصوصا برایتنس دارن خیالم راحته و همه چی رو به راهه، مثلا من وقتی گوست آو سوشیما رو بازی میکنم اچ دی ار فعال باشه باید برایتنس درون بازی رو ببرم روی ۱۰۰ تا در تاریکی مشکل نداشته باشم وگرنه اذیت میشم، ولی در خیلی از بازی های دیگه خوبه مثل اودیسی یا اسپایدر من ۲ ... مثلا دایینگ لایت ۲ اچ دی ار نداره اصلا و من آلویز آن بازی میکنم بازی یکم دیم میشه و انگار رزولیشن کمه درحالی که فهمیدم بخاطر کانترس پایینه بازیه وقتی اچ دی ار خلموشه دایینگ لایت خیلی وضوح بالایی داره اما خب رنگ های بدون اچ دی آر اصلا به دلم نمیشینه
لطفا راهنماییم کن با تشکر

Hi, can you please tell me how many clicks in steps 1, 2 and3 ps5 pro with monitor aorus fv43u thanks

[dzarastafaraj]

Hi bro, i have asus tuf gaming vg289q monitor and a want to know, am i supposed to calibrate hdr on ps5 like that:
First step until logo disappears
Second the same
And third darkest level
Cause i watched too many videos, and all of them are calibration for tv, that is why i wanna to know do i need to follow this instrucitions for monitor

[yugorisfriwan]

i guess the takeaway is, HDR gaming isnt quite consistent yet from game to game, and its frustrating sometimes, since i jump from game to game frequently, and sometimes having that one game that doesnt look good in HDR wihtout a tweak in calibration settings really annoys me, up to a point where up until i finish the game i just play in SDR (especially if the game doesnt have an ingame turn on and off HDR setting), but if the Devs actually master the game with great HDR, mann it looks amazing
